Xanetia - I'll put my money up front and say that it probably can't be complied or road registered ever, if they are selling it like that. $3k is dirt cheap, and whilst it looks like a bargain, it's not going to be if you can't register it.
First things I'd ask them is:
- how long has it been in Australia
- how come it's not complied
I'd be interested in hearing why!

That story definitely doesn't add up. Dodgies for sure.
But anyway, it could also be used as a track/race car? Or strip for parts - but better to avoid the need for parts, don't crash!

New System

With the new system introduced a couple of years ago, no car with accident damage (structural) is legally allowed to be complied. So the best you will likely be able to use it for is spare parts (or maybe a track car).
